A recovery is expected to start this year but the French aerospace industry is still in the middle of its endeavor to save jobs and skills, showing solidarity and exploiting state aid programs.
An investment fund formed last summer to support small and medium enterprises in the French aerospace sector has received an additional €100 million ($120 million) from the Credit Agricole banking group, thus bringing it closer to its goal of raising a total of €1 billion.
Four and half years since the Brexit referendum and aerospace is no nearer to understanding what the UK’s future trading relationship with its nearest and largest trading partner will look like.
